Legal Florida Online Gambling, Poker & Casinos

It can be difficult for punters to keep up with gambling legislation in Florida, given that the state seems to make perpetual amendments. Nevertheless, at the time of writing, much of the gambling industry is permitted to Floridians, with casino gaming, poker rooms, horse and dog racing betting, lotteries and charitable gaming allowed.

Live poker has been permitted since 2001, tribal casinos have been in operation for many years and more than 13,000 state lottery outlets are available throughout Florida.

Social gambling, such as poker home games, remains restricted to some extent, with a punitive $10 cap per player per hand or game for card games.

Florida Gambling Laws - Summary and Look to the Future

The online gambling picture in Florida is not yet clear. Current state law suggests that online gambling is not viewed in a positive light, according to Section 849.08, which says:

"Whoever plays or engages in any game at cards, keno, roulette, faro, or other game of chance, at any place, by any device whatever, for money or other thing of value, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree".

However, most offshore iGaming brands still welcome the sign-up of Floridian players.
